Fortunately, it just lasted for two races. All images shot with the E30 and 50-200 SWD, covered for the first two races with an OP-Tech rain sleeve, and me with a one-use plastic poncho..

After the rain cleared out, I had to keep ISO's high to keep movement in check, so this was a great set of images to process using my new, upgraded Adobe Camera RAW with the much improved noise filter.
